About the Role Techtinium Technologies is hiring a Marketing Associate who can research on highly technical topics, derive meaningful marketing content from it and effectively communicate with the relevant audience. In this role, you'll be helping a California-based non-profit science and R&D; organization do fundraising-focused research with communications execution. Much of the client's funding comes from institutional sources — foundations, government grant programs, corporate partners, and major donors — and this research directly supports those relationships.

You will research prospective funders and grant-making bodies, track their priorities and giving patterns, and help identify alignment between their interests and their programs. Those insights then feed directly into the communications you write: funder updates, grant-related correspondence, and donor and stakeholder engagement content delivered through structured systems — email campaigns, newsletters, and engagement programs. This is not a strategy-only or idea-only role.

It is designed for someone who enjoys writing and research in equal measure, and who takes ownership of execution, tracking, and follow-through. You will receive training in campaign workflows, marketing systems, and engagement practices, but you are expected to be detail-oriented, dependable, and comfortable working with structured tools. Prior experience with non-profits, foundations, or science and research-driven organizations is strongly preferred — you should be comfortable communicating complex or technical subject matter to a general audience with accuracy and credibility.

Key Responsibilities 1. Fundraising & Institutional Research - Research prospective institutional funders — foundations, government grant programs, and corporate or major donors — to identify their funding priorities, giving history, and application requirements.





- Track how peer science and R&D; non-profits position themselves to funders, and surface relevant benchmarks or opportunities.
- Maintain organized profiles and briefing notes on funders and prospects to support grant applications and fundraising outreach.
- Translate research findings into actionable input for donor communications, targeting, and campaign messaging.
- Communications & Content (Core Responsibility) - Write clear, accurate, and engaging content for email campaigns, newsletters, and audience updates — often translating scientific or technical material for a general audience.
- Adapt tone and messaging for different audience segments (institutional funders, individual donors, members, media, general public) using marketing automation tools.
- Ensure all content aligns with brand voice, scientific accuracy, and campaign objectives, and reflects the credibility expected of a research institution. 3.

Campaign

Execution & Operations - Set up, test, and execute email campaigns accurately and on schedule.

- Coordination & Support - Collaborate with internal teams and client stakeholders to support ongoing campaigns.
- Assist with logistics for online events and engagement activities.
- Review campaign results and research data together to flag opportunities for improvement in content, targeting, or process.
